I think getting a free replacement is totally up to the "genius" behind the counter. Maybe it's their mood or how tight their hipster jeans are that determines if yours will be free. Although I have heard of more women getting freebies, I wonde why?
On another note, I heard that the apple stores were packed today, 200+ people lined up. I walked into future shop at 9am this morning, waited 20 minutes and got a new 64gb iPhone 4S... Sweet!!!
